Days passed by one after another, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
In a blink of an eye, three months had gone.
As soon as Xia Weilan stepped out of the gate, she felt the cold wind blowing. Although she was wearing a scarf, she still felt extremely cold. She couldn't help shrinking her head, wishing she could hide in the warm scarf like a timid turtle.
She quickly got into the car and closed the door. It was much warmer inside the car.
"Give me your hand." Mo Beichen had gotten into the car earlier. Now that he was warm, he pulled Xia Weilan's hand and slowly rubbed it until it became warm.
"How's your preparation for the graduation thesis this time?" Mo Beichen asked while warming her hand.
"Well, I've prepared it thoroughly. After polishing it last night, I can hand it in today. I can relax in the next few days."
The first semester of her sophomore year was about to end. Xia Weilan had been busy with her studies these days and had achieved quite a lot.
When Xia Weilan's body was warm, Mo Beichen started the car and drove her to school.
It was snowing lightly along the way. Fortunately, a path had been cleared in the middle of the road, so the cars could pass smoothly.
There were few people on the road. The few pedestrians who were out were walking in a hurry. The weather had been really bad recently.
As soon as Xia Weilan got out of the car, she immediately lowered her head and shrank into her scarf. A woman got out of a car beside her. After saying goodbye to Nan Fengyan, Rui Li immediately called out to Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan turned around and wanted to run towards Rui Li. But the snow on her feet was too heavy, so she could only walk step by step.
Rui Li walked slowly towards Xia Weilan. She wasn't wearing as many clothes as Xia Weilan, but still quite a bit.
The famous - brand down jacket on her was very effective in keeping warm. It was light and warm, and was prepared by Nan Fengyan for her.
Rui Li put her hands in her trouser pockets, looking more elegant and calm. Even her hair had grown longer and was fluttering gracefully.
"A new branch of my family's store will open in a few days. I'll treat you to lunch." Rui Li said as she walked with Xia Weilan.
It was not easy for them to reach the classroom while walking in the snow.
As soon as Rui Li saw the female class monitor, she immediately invited her, "Come and celebrate with us at lunch."
The female class monitor's eyes lit up. "So your family is opening another branch. I'll go. That's amazing!"
In just a few months, the number of supermarkets of Rui Li's family had increased from three to ten. In a blink of an eye, Rui Li had become a rich woman.
Rui Li nodded.
The female class monitor clicked her tongue. "I'm going to have a big meal again."
Xia Weilan didn't say a word. She just quietly looked at Rui Li and thought about her recent changes. Not long ago, Rui Li had rejected Nan Fengyan's pursuit because of her ordinary family background. Now, both her career and love life were getting better and better. Rui Li was overflowing with happiness, and Xia Weilan was truly happy for her.
Just then, a strange man walked into the classroom. He looked around, then walked up to Xia Weilan and said, "Miss Xia, this is your wedding invitation."
Xia Weilan took the invitation and opened it. It was actually from Xia Ruolin and Ouyang Mingqi.
"Who asked you to bring this?" Xia Weilan asked.
The man only replied, "Our young mistress asked me to come."
At this moment, Xia Weilan's phone rang.
It was Xia Ruolin calling.
"Weilan, I'm getting married next week. Will you come?" Xia Ruolin said in an arrogant voice.
Recently, Xia Ruolin was extremely happy. Ouyang Mingqi stayed with her every day and was really honest. He always said sweet words to her. Xia Ruolin now thought that marrying Ouyang Mingqi was really a good choice.
"Do you really want me to go?" Xia Weilan was surprised.
"Of course. We're cousins after all. Who else should come if you don't?" Xia Ruolin said against her will.
Actually, it was because she trusted Ouyang Mingqi very much. She naturally wanted to show off her happiness in front of Xia Weilan.
"I'm not sure if I'll have time. I'm still in school." Xia Weilan hesitated.
"Don't worry. That day is just your holiday. You'll definitely have time."
Before Xia Weilan could say anything else, Xia Ruolin said on her own, "It's settled then. I still have to make more calls. I'm very busy. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruolin sneered. She thought that Xia Weilan's hesitation was probably because she had failed to seduce Ouyang Mingqi before and now didn't have the face to come.
Now Xia Ruolin's pregnancy was more than four months. The business of the Xia family and the Ouyang family had been connected.
Although sometimes Mo Beichen deliberately made things difficult for them, fortunately Ouyang Mingqi was smart enough to barely maintain their previous glory.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruolin resented Xia Weilan. Why did Xia Weilan still not let it go and let the Mo Ying Group snatch the business from the Xia and Ouyang families from time to time?
Just then, Ouyang Mingqi walked into the consulting room. "Is the check - up done?"
Xia Ruolin put away her venomous expression. When she turned around, she had a shy look of a little woman. "The doctor said the fetus is very stable."
Ouyang Mingqi put his arm around her waist reassuringly and pretended to dote on her as he tidied her collar. "It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold. I've been busy with the company recently. You stay at home. I'll ask mom to take good care of you."
"Okay, go ahead. A man should focus on his work. I understand." Xia Ruolin nodded meekly.
During this period, Xia Ruolin had been pampered like a panda in the Ouyang family. Her temper had actually improved a lot. Since everyone followed her wishes, she didn't need to lose her temper.
Another week passed.
Xia Weilan got up early as usual. After waking up, she realized that she didn't need to go to class because it was the holiday.
Xia Weilan was extremely happy. On the first day of the holiday, she immediately made an appointment with Rui Li to go on a crazy shopping spree.
The wedding scene in Kyoto was being broadcast everywhere in the shopping mall.
It was full of flowers everywhere.
Even the billboards on the roadside were showing a live broadcast of the wedding. The grand occasion was unprecedented.
"I heard they ordered a lot of flowers. It's really a waste of money."
"That's right. The whole night sky of Kyoto will be filled with fireworks. The world of the rich is really too extravagant."
Two salesgirls were looking at the screen enviously. Which woman didn't want to be like Xia Ruolin, with such a kind - hearted husband who was willing to spend money on her? Xia Ruolin was really too happy.
Xia Weilan and Rui Li also saw these advertisements. "I didn't expect they would get married today."
Xia Weilan said indifferently, "I hope they'll grow old together and never come out to cause trouble again."
---
At the highly anticipated wedding scene, all the guests were arriving one after another.
The place was filled with flowers and romance.
The only drawback was that Ouyang Mingqi hadn't shown up yet.
Xia Ruolin looked at her watch. Why was Ouyang Mingqi being so unreliable at this crucial moment?
As the bridesmaid, Liu Yinyin, wearing a dress, stood beside Xia Ruolin and reminded her, "Is Ouyang Mingqi trying to back out of the wedding?"
